A teacher became aware of potential misconduct by Veldboom after overhearing students talking about a number of girls who had been communicating with Veldboom. The school identified two girls, both 15-years-old, who Veldboom had messaged using the cellphone app Snapchat.

Veldboom had been a student teacher at the school for about 45 days, but was let go June 1 when the allegations surfaced. The school's principal, Adam Englebretson, told police he was surprised by the allegations, as he thought Veldbloom was doing an above average job as a student teacher.

One of the girls told police that Veldboom sent a topless picture of himself and asked her how far she would go with him.

Another girl said Veldboom contacted her in the app and asked if she would come to his house and make out with him, but that she declined because she had a boyfriend. She also said he asked if she would perform sex acts on him and said the two exchanged an estimated 100 messages, with 60 percent of them being inappropriate.

In an interview with police, Veldboom acknowledged communicating with several girls on Snapchat and said he sent the messages to the two girls while he was home alone and had consumed seven Old Fashioneds. He said he did not remember doing it, but felt remorseful when he woke up the next morning.
